When Driving
Starting the Engine
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
• The starter does not rotate until the glow indicator light turns off.
• When starting the engine, do not release the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or
the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) until the glow indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns off and the engine starts, after pressing the push button
start.
1. Make sure the parking brake is on.
2. Continue to press the brake pedal firmly until
the engine has completely started.
3. (Manual transaxle)
Continue to press the clutch pedal firmly until
the engine has completely started.
(Automatic transaxle)
Put the vehicle in park (P). If you must restart the
engine while the vehicle is moving, shift into
neutral (N).
4. Press the push button start after both the KEY indicator
light (green) (if equipped) in the instrument cluster and
the push button start indicator light (green) illuminate.
• If the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) is
released before the engine starts, depress the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or
the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) again and press the push button start to
start the engine.
• If the ignition is left switched ON for a long period of time without the engine
running after the glow plugs are warmed up, the glow plugs may warm up again
which will illuminate the glow indicator light.

When Driving
Operation of i-stop Function
The i-stop function automatically stops the engine when the vehicle is stopped at a
traffic light or stuck in traffic, and then restarts the engine automatically to resume
driving. The system provides improved fuel economy, reduced exhaust gas
emissions, and eliminates idling noise while the engine is stopped.
Engine idle stopping and restarting
NOTE
• The i-stop indicator light (green) turns on under the following conditions:
• When engine idling is stopped.
• The i-stop indicator light (green) turns off when the engine is restarted.
Manual transaxle
2. While depressing the clutch pedal, shift the shift lever to the neutral position.
Engine idling stops after the clutch pedal is released.
3. The engine restarts automatically when the clutch pedal is depressed. 1. Stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal and then the clutch pedal.
Automatic transaxle
2. The engine restarts automatically when the brake pedal is released with the
selector lever in the D or M position (not in second gear fixed mode).
3. If the selector lever is in the N or P position, the engine does not restart when
the brake pedal is released. The engine restarts when the brake pedal is
depressed again or the selector lever is shifted to the D, M (not in second gear
fixed mode) or the R position. (For the purposes of safety, always keep the
brake pedal depressed when shifting the selector lever while engine idling is
stopped.) 1. Engine idling stops when the brake pedal is depressed while the vehicle is
driven (except for driving in the R or M position second gear fixed mode) and
the vehicle is stopped.Engine idling stop conditions are met while the vehicle is being driven. • (Except European model)

Electrical power
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP”.
i-ELOOP is a regenerative braking system. When you depress the brake pedal or
use engine braking, the kinetic energy that occurs is converted to electrical energy
by the power generator and the converted electrical energy is stored in the
rechargeable battery (capacitor and battery). The stored electricity is used as
power to charge the battery and the vehicle's electrical devices.
• A variable voltage alternator is incorporated in the power generator which
converts the kinetic energy to electricity and can generate electricity efficiently
according to the vehicle conditions.
• A capacitor is used to store large amounts of electricity instantly which can be
utilized quickly.
• A DC-DC converter is incorporated which steps down the stored electricity to
voltage useable by the vehicle's electrical devices.


When Driving
31For details, refer to Section 4, “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System”, or “Diesel Particulate Filter”.
Diesel Particulate Filter
The diesel particulate filter collects and removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all
four wheels. If the air pressure of one or more tyres is too low, the system warns
the driver by indicating the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light in the
instrument cluster and operating a beep sound.
In the following cases, system initialization must be performed so that the system
operates normally.
• A tyre pressure is adjusted.
• Tyre rotation is performed.
• A tyre or wheel is replaced.
• The battery is replaced or completely drained.
• The tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light is illuminated.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
PM collected by the diesel particulate filter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the diesel particulate filter indicator light
may illuminate under the following conditions:
• If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9 mph) or less continuously.
• If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
• If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
